Newman deputy sheriff, who returned
t.ou six weeks unsuccessful search
for two horse thieves, accidentally dis
oovared 8 rendezvous for a band OF
W Loroa and cattle thieves, who for years
LIT 1T bsve committed dep-edations on
tSa ranges of southeastern oregon, par
ticrIsrIV ia Mslheur county. The rob
bors, ramp is situated in Idaho, about
S06 niles east of Baker City, at the con-
A. l,,on No. of Grand Round River with the
snake. Here, to his surprise. Newman
fomnt himself in the midst of refugees
frnm the law, numbering upwards of
twenty-fve or thirty men, well armed
and equipped and ready to set all aU
dsfance. The ! lace selected for the
Tefnge by this band of outlaws is well
adstted Tor their calling. Little valleys
beTe and there are nestled in between
bigh. preipitous and rugged cliffs aud
monntains, some of them affording
abundance of bunch grass for STOCK.
Their outlet is across the Snake into
Idaho and by this passage hundreds
of cattle and horses are run off from
fbe upper counties and disposed of to
unsuspecting purchasers in the States
and territories. With the addition of
guards at the entrance, the rendezvous
Of this band of horse thieves answers
well tae description of the valley which
sheltered the Doones, in tbs famous
nOvelof Laura Doone."

schnaebeles.

PARIS, May IN. Schnaebeles has re
turned to his home. The Temps and
many other journals deprecate the idea
of the public subscribing to present him
with diamond cross. -,
In an interview, Schnaebeles persisted
that he threw off the German police
man and ran to the French territory
before he was arrested. He said that
German detectives threatened to shoot
him if he resisted. Schnaebeles con-
firmed Gautsch's statement that he
(the latter was also arrested. Schnae-
beles was kept in absolute ignorance of
everything while in prison. He was
liberated at 8 p. m., during an e1-
ceptionally heavy thunder storm
which woke him from his sleep. He
refused to say anything about the
German charges against him, but said
that his arrest was illegal. Gautsch
accompanied Schnaebeles on the train
rs far as Noviant, where, after an ex.
cited conversation Gsutsch was over
heard TO say, Upon my oath you
wrong me. l am innocent" To this
Schnaebeles shrugged his shoulders and
uttered an expression of rage and con
tempt, burst into loud laughsand e1-
claimed, as Gautsch slipped'off: HE
takes me for an idiot"

Ova'ianoff. a son of q high Russian
official. During the trial he displayed
the highest intelligence, and maintained
the most dignitied bearing, entering
into minute sc entifc dispute with

He compelled the latter to acknowledge
the prisoner in the right, and he him
self in the wrong. at the final sitting
Ovalianoff made brilliant speech; he
declared neither he nor his COM

imagine nothing more sublime than
to die in an endeavor to deliver
the unfortunate Russian people.
Hundreds of young men would initiate
